Team building #TBT

Today's blog post was originally published two years ago:

You may notice a theme here this week. I was taking a class at work on Sunday night about team building, so this week is going to be variations on a theme.

I'm sure most of us can use more of each of these. And I'm going to talk about how to get more today and tomorrow.

Although we technically can't get any more time, since there are only 24 hours in a day, we can choose how we spend that time more wisely.

And since "Time is money" maybe we can treat them both similarly...in fact I did a blog post on "How to Invest Your Time Like Money", so not only is a penny saved, a penny earned but a second saved is a second earned. Spend your time and money wisely and keep an eye on your ROI, and you'll end up with more of each.

But what about energy? What can we do to have more energy?

I read a book quite a while ago called "Calm Energy" which talks about how to reduce stress and increase energy mostly through diet and exercise. I probably should read it again since I'm doing poorly with both, although I've just started walking more. And maybe start doing yoga again to help relax and to stretch this old body.

So, my final thoughts are:

• Read "Calm Energy" to boost your energy and reduce stress
• Spend your money wisely and find a way to make more if possible. I have a fun and easy way to make some extra money, if you're interested
• Spend your time wisely. Read the blog that I linked to above. And there's a link to another excellent article on "Why you should track your time like you track your money" under Show Highlights

Tune in tomorrow for more.
